Why "DISM /online /Get-Features" claims that this is not a "valid package" ?

Question

First of all, I am on Windows 8, which still has some bug displaying the features in the "Turn Win features on or off" but no fix!

I finally gave up looking for a solution when I heard of DISM.exe. But I can't understand why this command :

"C:\> DISM /online /Get-Features"

keeps telling me that the "specified package is not valid Windows package" (error 0x800f0805) whereas it should display me some list of available features (if I remember well, but in all case, not an error!)

Based on
Andre.Ziegler's suggestion, this issue suggests that certain system files could be corrupt.
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth is used to scan the image for component store corruption, and then perform repair operations automatically. This operation will take several minutes.
